Delicious Ice Cream Gollum Creature Eats Itself, Creeps Us Out

Here’s a marketing hypothetical that no one has ever posed before: does cannibalism sell ice cream? Philadelphia ice cream parlor mini-chain Little Baby’s Ice Cream has released two ads featuring an odd creature seemingly made of ice crea, which finds itself so irresistible that it shovels giant spoonfuls of the top of its own head into its mouth, and licks an ice cream cone in which a smaller version of itself sits. The spots are trippy, gross, strange, and…. really make me want some ice cream.

This makes me think of the latest marketing campaign from Cinnamon Toast Crunch, where the little square dudes lick/bite each other and in one he actually eats himself. I never understood why those ads were supposed to be appealing…

As an FYI, this is located in one of Philadelphia’s most dangerous neighborhoods. Given that our city has a murder rate comperable to that of Detroit… yeah. I don’t care how good their ice cream is, I’m not going there, ever.
